A SLIGHT twist for this chapter! Enjoy it!
A Dream.NO WAY? Haldir and I continued running through the forest and laughing at each other's antics. We came to a hill and I climbed as fast as I could, but not fast enough. When I reached the top, Haldir tackled me and together we tumbled down onto a patch of beautiful wildflowers, every color imaginable decorated them. I ended up on the bottom and Haldir straddled my hips, pinning my arms on either side of my head. My hair was spread over the grass above my head and a small grin of satisfaction was plastered on my face. Haldir smirked and leaned down for a kiss, but before his lips touched mine, I sat up abruptly in bed and stared around the room. I felt my forehead and sighed. "It was just a dream," I whispered. A small ruffle of the sheets and a head of messy braided blond hair told me I was wrong. "Not exactly," said Haldir, sitting up next to me and hugging me gently. I looked up at him with a questioning look and he smiled down at me. "You'll see in the morning," was all he said as he pushed me down on the bed and captured my lips with his. The next morning, I woke early and dressed quickly, but paused to look in the mirror. I wore a dark red tunic and silver leggings, pulled together by a leather belt. I stared mindlessly at my reflection and didn't even realize Haldir now stood behind me with his hands on my hips. Only when he bit me on the neck did I snap back to reality. I met his eyes in the mirror and they were intense, steely gray with wisdom. He stepped away towards the door at my left, his right hand trailing from my hip, along my lower backed and slipping away one finger at a time. I watched his movements closely. No words needed to be said between us; we knew what the other was saying. A small nod of him head told me what he wanted and I followed him obediently. Downstairs, Legolas sat with Cindil AND Sierra! I could see they had been talking to Legolas by the way the elf was trying to clear his ears. I pounced Sierra and she squealed loudly. We stood up and assumed very stupid looking yoga posses. Sierra hissed and growled at me. I barked, tumbled sideways and screeched, "SHEKAW!" Haldir and Legolas exchanged rather disturbed looks while Cindil laughed her ass off! "What was that?" asked Haldir, confused by my words. "You mean 'shekaw'? It's an exclamation word. You know, like 'darn' or 'argh'?" The elves looked at each other and shrugged. "Well Denee, I see you slept with him again," said Cindil, smiling. I blushed and looked down at my feet. "I didn't even know he was there. I just woke up and there he was," I explained. Haldir stepped forward and stopped the conversation. "I can explain that. You fell asleep on the horse you were riding and I took you to your room. That's when Sierra showed up." Haldir patted the top of Sierra's head. "Later that night, you were having a nightmare and I heard you scream about Sierra and a girl named Krystal." I met his eyes and was calmed by the tenderness I found. "So, Sierra, have you met anyone yet? Anyone special?" I asked, smirking at her. She returned my smirk and turned to face a dimly lit corner of the room. An elf stepped towards us; his robes were orange in color, setting off the color of his hair. It was dark brown, almost chocolatey. His eyes were gray/brown and soft to look into. "Denee, meet Elrohir, Elrond's son." Elrohir smiled down on me and nodded his head. "I suppose this is your mate, Haldir? The one you've told me about?" asked Elrohir, innocently. "MATE!?!" I thought, glaring at the blond elf. Haldir glanced nervously at me and nodded to the brune elf. Elrohir lifted a lock of my hair out of my face to get a better look. He must have liked what he saw because he smiled and said, "You choose well, old friend." He kissed Sierra and left. I looked at Haldir and he read my expression clearly. We needed to talk!
*Ah-HA!!! Got you! I had dreamed Cindil was gone but she's not. And I'm sorry about screwing with Tolkien's story, but the real Sierra LOVES Elrohir. Next chapter, a SPECIAL dance for the boys and after that, only a few more chapters till we leave Lothlorien! Pleaz R&R and god bless!
